EURUSD: Continues to increase after a promising week!

Hi everybody! In the first trading session of the new week, the EUR/USD exchange rate increased to 1.0800 due to the weakening of the US Dollar. The USD faced a significant sell-off after the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released a report, showing weak labor demand and a slowdown in wage growth in April. This decline pushed the US Dollar Index (DXY) to a 3-week low, giving momentum to the EUR/USD currency pair.

Additionally, market sentiment has improved significantly after a disappointing Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report, suggesting that the Federal Reserve (Fed) may reduce interest rates from its September meeting. Delays in wage growth and weaker labor demand both raise doubts that consumers will spend less, possibly easing inflationary pressures. This scenario may not be favorable for the USD and bond yields, and may also increase the EUR/USD exchange rate in the near future.
